Chapter 642: The Queen Mother's Gift
On the offensive end of the Cavaliers, Mo Williams controlled the ball across half court, then put the ball in James' hands in the high post, and then ran to the other side, looking for an opportunity to catch the ball. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
James controlled the ball in the high post, Vallejo lifted up to block and dismantle, and after James made a breakthrough feint, he stepped back and shot directly.
James has made a career-high 5.8 three-pointers per game in the playoffs this season, but has shot just 33.3 percent from the field.
"Bang!"
Shoot the iron!
The basketball jumped a little far, and the second bull under the basket did not get the ball, but was squeezed out of the three-second zone by Big Z to grab the frontcourt rebound.
Ilgoskas passed the ball to James again, and the latter did not hesitate to pull out his hand again~~
Hit!
After hitting the three-pointer strongly, James waved his arms and let out a roar.
"Interesting!" Barkley laughed, "Someone responds, then it's Kraft Nguyen's turn!"
Kevin Harlan also explained in the voice that 2K game enthusiasts are most familiar with: "How will the Celestial Empire people respond? ”
Of course, it can't be stopped, the speed difference between the two is too big, and Ruan Erniu, who is holding the ball in the horn position, just makes a random tentative step and shakes Da Z aside.
Erniu immediately held the ball into the penalty area, jumped high, completed a tomahawk split, and successfully overtook the score.
On the offensive end of the Cavaliers, James continued to hold the ball high and control the tempo, but this time he didn't mean to force the shot.
Mo Williams and Delonte West crossed and James immediately sent a through ball to Delonte West, who cut to the basket.
West attacked the basket with the ball and split the ball after compressing the Hawks' defensive formation.
Valejo, who was high post, received the ball, raised his hand and shot, hitting a long-range 2-pointer.
Woodson couldn't help but frown off the court, he always felt that the pace of the game was a little weird.
On the Hawks' offensive end, Bibby made a long-range shot against Mo Williams' defense.
"Bang!"
missed, but Erniu won the frontcourt rebound, and under the bag of Ilgoskas and Vallejo, he distributed the ball to Embarrassment, who also shot at the defender from a distance, and West's point was also laid out by the Hawks before the game and needed to focus on attacking.
"Bang!"
Still missed, James took the backcourt rebound, immediately held the ball and advanced to the frontcourt, and caused a foul on Bibby in the breakaway.
After sending the sideline ball, James pulled out his hand from outside Salmons' defensive three-point line.
"Brush!"
Again!
James' three-point shooting today was noticeably more resolute and better than usual.
This guy must have been stimulated by Erniu after pretending to fail!
On the other hand, on the offensive end of the Hawks, after Ruan Erniu attracted the bag and sent a pass, Salmons on the outside missed another shot and missed a good opportunity to score in the open position.
Woodson had to call a timeout, and the Hawks were terrible on both ends of the floor.
Of course, this is that the Cavaliers have done a good enough job, but it is also inseparable from the slackness of the Hawks themselves, they played too smoothly in front!
After the timeout, the Hawks' performance still didn't improve much, and Woodson couldn't help but spray on the sidelines, asking the players to improve their concentration.
In the first quarter of the game, it became a game for Erniu to fight against the whole Cavaliers team.
Ruan Erniu shot 7-of-9 from the field and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line in the single quarter, scoring 16 points and 6 rebounds.
And what about the other players?
Embarrassment made 0-of-3 shooting, Mike Bibby made 1-of-4, Salmons made 0-of-2 and Lunar Eclipse made 0-of-2.
If it weren't for the efficiency of Ronald Murray and the Birdmen off the bench, the Hawks might even have been wiped out in the first quarter.
Even so, at 33:23, the Hawks still trailed their opponents by 10 points in the first quarter, digging themselves a big hole.
James shot 4-of-8 in the single quarter and 2-of-3 from three-point range to the fullest extent, but even so, the Cavaliers still had the advantage on the court.
Irgeskas, who can no longer jump, is also a commendable existence.
He grabbed seven rebounds in the first quarter, one more than Kraft Nguyen, and also had two frontcourt rebounds, as well as shooting 3-of-5 from the field in the first quarter to score six points.
Able to make use of his height and skills, and contribute to the team in both scoring and rebounding.
Big Z was ostensibly blown up by the Celestial Empire, but in fact, it actually reduced the overall effectiveness of the Eagles and entangled the player who played the best on the court.
Erniu himself can't say it, pretending to be forced to pretend to be early, the Cavaliers' will to win is beyond the imagination of the Hawks, and the 8-game winning streak in the playoffs has made the Hawks a little lost.
The Cavaliers' performance in the first quarter of the game was enough for them to earn respect.
Just look at how happy Gloria James was with her head on the sidelines to see how well the first quarter was played.
Nonsense, even the queen mother is happy, can the knight's game state be bad?
As is customary, if the Cavaliers can beat their opponents and advance to the Finals, Ms. Gloria will definitely hug and even kiss the Cavaliers players one by one in the tunnel.
After the end of the last two tie-breaks, the Cavaliers players have enjoyed such "perks".
Well, that's after the Cavaliers eliminated the Hawks, and just playing a good game wasn't enough to give the Cavaliers peace of mind.
"What are you XX doing? Are you on vacation? Give XX me a little sober! This is the playoffs! If anyone shows me XX's casual look again, I'll let him spend the rest of XX's games on the bench. ”
How dissatisfied Woodson is, you can get a rough idea of how bad it is from the foul language recorded by the sideline camera.
The second quarter of the game began quickly.
Embarrassed and Salmons quickly found their touch, and they made consecutive shots from the perimeter, and soon caught up with the score gap between the two teams.
Just when the Hawks thought they were going to make another habitual comeback, LeBron James stepped up.
The king who stood up from the dragon chair instantly transformed into a knight chief, wielding his sword and slashing into the camp of the eagles.
Break through, attack the basket strongly, score, add penalties!
James used the most unreasonable way to smash the Hawks' basket again and again, and once again pressed the score closer.
Ruan Erniu was immediately resent back to the court by Woodson, but in the face of the red-eyed James, Erniu could only explode with him on the offensive end.
Trying to prevent the death of a superstar is a fool's dream, and reducing efficiency is a more realistic strategy.
In the fierce state of the game, Erniu and James had two direct dialogue scenes.
One time was when James held the ball high and misplaced to meet Ruan Erniu's defense, and hit a 16-foot mid-range shot.
Another time was that Erniu faced James who contracted the inside line in the low post, and as a result, Erniu continued to hit back, and at the 12-foot position, he made a backward jumper, and also responded with a mid-range shot from the opponent.
These two direct confrontations of the supergiant can also be seen as the epitome of the second quarter of the game.
The Hawks are getting back to normal, but the Cavaliers have been at their best.
At 30:29, the Hawks lost by one point in the quarter, arguably a tie with the Cavaliers.
At halftime, at 63:52, the Hawks trailed by 11 points to end the first half of their Eastern Conference Finals G1.
Kenny Smith concluded: "The Cavaliers are the more prepared team, but the Hawks aren't without chances. They should be in good shape during the break. ”
